Mayor Mamdani's viral clap back at JD Vance might go down in social media history: 'Craziest ratio'

Zohran Mamdani has gone viral over his brutal reaction to JD Vance trying to claim his achievements as the Trump administrationâ s. Despite facing rampant Islamophobia while on the campaign trail and beyond, Mamdani was voted the Mayor of New York City in November 2025, making history by becoming the first Muslim mayor. Since taking office in January, Mamdani has been praised for instituting a string of positive changes for the city, with New Yorkers actually able to see the fruits of his labour .
